FCB Health Network had a remarkable showing at the 2018 Clio Health Awards, taking home a total of 20 accolades for its Area 23, FCB Health New York and Area 23 On Hudson agencies. Area 23 was named “Agency of the Year,” an honor presented to the agency that receives the most overall Clio statue points for entries submitted across all medium types. Additionally, the agency earned a prestigious Clio Grand for its client Lartruvo’s “The World’s Smallest Booth” campaign.

The Clio Health Awards follow a remarkable year of honors for FCB Health Network, as it was named “Healthcare Network of the Year” for the first time ever at Cannes Lions, “Global Healthcare Network of the Year” for the second time by the Global Awards and “Global Health & Wellness and Medical Network of the Year” by the LIA Healthcare Awards.

“We are thrilled to be recognized by this iconic competition,” said Dana Maiman, FCB Health Network president and CEO. “We’re never finished pushing creative boundaries and establishing new precedents in health advertising and in the advertising industry as a whole. These honors tell us that we are on the right path.”

The Clio Awards is the esteemed international awards competition for the creative business. Founded in 1959 to celebrate high achievement in advertising, the Clios annually and throughout the year recognize the work, the agencies and the talent – across advertising, sports, fashion, music, entertainment and healthcare – that push boundaries and establish new precedent. The Clios judging process is known for its democratic approach to recognizing creative excellence. Fewer than 20% of submissions, within a media type, survive the first two rounds, from which juries re-evaluate the work to determine Gold, Silver and Bronze statues along with the Shortlist. Less than 5% of all entries receive a statue, and less than 1% receive the coveted Gold Clio. Each jury also has the option of awarding the highest honor, the Grand Clio, to one truly exceptional piece of work in each media type from the chosen Gold statue winners.
